Florida lawmakers react to Obamacare news

Sen. Marco Rubio: "This is a remarkable acknowledgment by the Obama Administration that ObamaCare is a disaster in progress that will hurt job creators and those looking for work. The solution to ObamaCare is not to delay the day when the Internal Revenue Service comes after struggling American business who cannot afford to provide Washington mandated health coverage. The solution is to repeal it entirely."

Rep. Gus Bilirakis: "The Administration's announcement today that it would delay implementation of ObamaCare's employer mandate demonstrates that even the law's authors are realizing it is both unworkable and bad policy for Americans. I continue to oppose the new health care law and will work with my colleagues to find ways to repeal and replace it with commonsense reforms that truly address the challenges of our nation's health care system."
